Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 574 Extravagant Feast
The host exclaimed "Holy crap!"

It was broadcast to countless households through countless television sets, reaching the enthusiastic fans watching the NBA.

How much bonus was deducted from the host's paycheck as a result?

The fans have no idea.

They followed the camera to the familiar face appearing on the screen. Before the host could say it, no one realized it. After being reminded, they were surprised to find that the person sitting on the sidelines was clearly Li Luo.

"Fuck!!!"

Numerous exclamations followed at the same time.

Wuhan.

Filming location for "Lost in Thailand".

Having just finished a chase scene in the bustling city, the main actors, while waiting for the camera positions to be readjusted, went to a small shop next to the street to take a break, also to avoid the enthusiasm of the local residents.

Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Wang Ou were discussing whether their performance had been up to par.

A television set hanging on the wall.

Make these three people quickly raise their heads.

To their stunned surprise, their director, who had said he had something to take care of, was now sitting courtside at the NBA game, with Hollywood stars Jessica Alba and Mark Wahlberg beside him.

That guy.

He was happily waving his arms at the field.

Completely unaware that the camera was pointed at him, he turned around cheerfully and chatted with the two Hollywood stars.

A few people.

They laughed out loud in front of the camera.

This posture suggests they are extremely familiar with each other.

"Fuck!"

The water bottle in Xu Zheng's hand tumbled and fell, splashing out countless sparkling water droplets with a thud.

Sanya.

The crew of "Dark Fragrance" also had a break in filming.

Huang Xiaoming, who had just sat down, spat out a mouthful of mineral water in front of the TV and stared dumbfounded at his junior, who was sitting on the sidelines of the NBA court wearing a Lakers jersey.

Los Angeles, Hollywood
Various terms kept swirling in his mind, giving him goosebumps.

"Fuck!"

Wang Luo was completely dumbfounded.

Hong Kong Island.

Hong Tianming sat casually on the sofa, comfortably drinking beer, before turning his attention to the upcoming match on television.

The camera pans, and Li Luo and Jessica appear on the screen.

His eyes blinked rapidly.

"Push to the street!"

Hong Jiahao's eldest son jumped up in excitement, and then a scream echoed in the hotel room, followed by two lines of tears.

Exclamations of surprise rang out continuously, and naturally swept through Li Luo's fan club's various fan groups as well.

"Brother Luo! Brother Luo! Brother Luo!"

"Sports Channel".

"Luo Ge is in Hollywood! Luo Ge is in Hollywood! Luo Ge is in Hollywood!!!"

The concise words instantly stirred up a fan group of hundreds or even thousands of people, with a flood of surprised, puzzled, curious, and bewildered questions from the fans.

Actually.

As early as one or two days ago.

There have been sporadic reports of people suspecting that Lok Gor has been seen in Hollywood.

only.

Everyone scoffed at it.

Everyone knows that Luo Ge is currently filming his new movie "Lost in Thailand" in Wuhan. How could he possibly go to Hollywood for no reason? What could he possibly do there? What could be more important than filming?

Now, Li Luo was unexpectedly spotted courtside at an NBA game, with two Hollywood A-list stars sitting next to him.

This has aroused everyone's curiosity.

This curiosity wasn't limited to Li Luo's fan group; after a series of exclamations of "Holy crap!", various posts quickly appeared on different forums and online communities.

They excitedly inquired about what Li Luo was doing in Hollywood.

Such a reaction occurred.

It's not surprising at all.

Nowadays, even Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities have a lot of influence in mainland China. This has nothing to do with worshipping foreign things or being a Westernizer. It's purely due to the influence emanating from television and film as cultural mediums.

Hong Kong and Taiwan have such a high profile!

Then.

What about Hollywood?

""Twilight", Luo Ge's new work!"

A new post that suddenly appeared on Baidu Tieba instantly attracted the attention of countless people, with hundreds of thousands of netizens excitedly flocking to the post to explore its contents out of curiosity.

Discussion popularity.

It quickly rose to the top of the Baidu Tieba forum.

“I told you before but you didn’t believe me. But I can’t blame you. I didn’t even recognize Brother Luo’s face when I saw him in the movie theater.”

"Yes, that's right."

"Luo Ge went to Hollywood to make movies, and we didn't even know when he went to make them."

"It could have been last year."

"That guy was really well hidden."

"If it were someone else..."

"It's already been publicized to the point that everyone knows about it. Brother Luo is really low-key."

"Right now he's in Los Angeles promoting his new movie. Actually, I only confirmed this when I saw him from afar at the promotional event this afternoon. The new movie he's making is called 'Twilight'."

"Let's translate it as 'Twilight'!"

"It was considered a low-budget production in Hollywood, but the film unexpectedly became a box office hit."

"It premiered yesterday."

"It grossed over 40 million US dollars on its opening day."

"Hollywood is going crazy right now. The two leads have become the most talked-about actors. It's a movie adapted from a bestselling novel, about a vampire falling in love with an ordinary girl."

"Luo Ge plays a werewolf in it, but he doesn't have many scenes."

"But the role is very important."

"If they continue making a sequel, Lok's screen time will definitely increase dramatically. Those haters who say Lok wouldn't even be able to get an extra role in Hollywood should shut up. He's very popular in Hollywood!"

"No more nonsense."

"I'll send you some photos from the afternoon's event and some movie stills."

The mouse wheel scrolled down rapidly.

The first thing netizens saw was an Asian man with long hair, standing behind an old pickup truck, smiling at a pretty white girl.

It's very different from her usual image.

After reading the previous text information, everyone immediately confirmed that this guy was Li Luo.

Next.

These are photos from the event.

What they see here is the very familiar Luo Ge!

He stood out among the row of foreign faces.

Li Luo wasn't standing in a corner; instead, he stood next to the female lead with a bright smile, waving at the camera. The entire event left netizens wide-eyed.

It was pitch black.

wrong.

It was a huge group of foreign girls, in gold, black, brown, and red, all looking directly at the stage with flushed faces.

Signing and photo session.

Loko appears in all of them in the photos.

The foreign girls with all sorts of hair colors standing excitedly next to Luo Ge were not faking it at all. Some of the foreign girls were so excited that they hugged him until the security personnel pulled them away.

These photos have captivated netizens.

Fans of Luo.

They were even more excited.

It's common knowledge that Hollywood is a tough place to make a living. While the market there is huge, the competition is incredibly fierce.

To truly settle down is even more difficult.

Think differently.

They also don't want to see a foreign face as the lead in a Chinese-language film.

To be able to establish oneself and succeed there.

Next.

Perhaps we should give him an international title.

Judging from his appearance in the photos, it's easy to tell that Luo Ge was not a minor, insignificant character in that movie; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to participate in the promotion.

The excited reactions of those foreign women further confirm that Luo Ge was indeed very popular.

"Brother Luo is awesome!"

"I bet Luo Ge has already eaten the boxed lunches from Hollywood. The haters must be really curious about what the boxed lunches taste like there. But I was watching the game just now, and it looked like Luo Ge was eating pizza."

"Hahaha, Luo's face-slapping moment is back online."

"That's really mean. I remember when Li Luo was interviewed during the start of filming for 'Under the Zhengyang Gate,' when he talked about Hollywood, he said that if the right opportunity came, he might make a new attempt."

"It's obvious that Li Luo had already acted in this Twilight movie at that time."

"That bastard was probably laughing his head off during the interview. He's got a lot of bad ideas up his sleeve! He's probably been waiting to see those haters make fools of themselves for a long time."

"Hahaha, how can Li Luo be so shameless?"

"Acting in movies is one thing, but how did Li Luo get involved with Mark Wahlberg and Jessica Alba? I checked the cast and neither of them is in the main cast."

"Jessica, she's my goddess!!!"

The internet is buzzing with excitement. The gossip that unexpectedly broke out because of the NBA live stream has netizens thoroughly enjoying themselves, and they are also mocking those who say that if Li Luo is so capable, he should go and try his luck in Hollywood.

Of course, there was also a sense of quiet surprise at this matter.

I don't understand it at all.

How did Li Luo perform this magic trick?

at the same time.

The landline of Xinghuo Film and Television's marketing department was ringing incessantly as reporters with keen instincts flocked to the scene.

It's worth noting that, let alone successfully making it in Hollywood, there are very few mainland Chinese actors who can even get serious roles there. Now, another mainland Chinese actor is making a run for it.

Everyone was incredibly excited.

"Ok?"

"Hollywood?"

"Excuse me, can I call you back later?"

The constant stream of phone calls left the employees of Xinghuo Films completely bewildered. Luo Ge was clearly filming in Wuhan, and the reporters' inquiries caught them off guard.

Information is quickly collected and uploaded.

With a unified response, the message was delivered to them in less than a minute.

"Yes."

"Mr. Li Luo is currently in Los Angeles promoting his film."

"We have indeed achieved good results so far, but the relevant data is still being compiled. Can I send it to you later? Okay, thank you. Please leave your contact information."

Since the unexpected happened ahead of schedule.

Lin Yue simply went along with the planned publicity.

Li Luo quickly organized the photos and related documents he sent back over the past two days and sent them to major portal websites and entertainment reporters.

A dazzling red carpet.

That sharp suit.

Of course, there's also the image of him waving his hand coolly at the camera.

The photos released by major portal websites completely confirmed that Li Luo's claim of entering Hollywood was true, and the box office of more than 40 million US dollars on the first day also stunned everyone.

Is it not enough for "Painted Skin" to overturn the domestic market?

Hollywood.

It's amazing that you can stir up such a storm.

Fortunately, Li Luo only played a supporting role, which prevented many people from being completely shocked and disappointed. If the lead actor had achieved these box office results, it would have been too frightening.

And this point.

It became everything that the haters gritted their teeth and persisted in.

No matter how awesome you are, you can only play a minor supporting role.

Sour words.

This makes the atmosphere on the internet more cheerful.

At this time, Li Luo was unaware that unrest had already broken out in the country.

He watched the game intently.

I looked excitedly at the millionaires and multi-millionaires scrambling around the court, grabbing basketballs. The distance between us was so close that I could feel the gust of wind as they whistled past.

A beautifully executed fadeaway jump shot, and the constantly bouncing, white thighs of the cheerleaders during halftime.

They shouted "Defense!" and cheered as they launched their attack.

Enjoy it to the fullest.

Enjoying the game to the fullest.

Jessica was a crazy guy watching the game, booing all the time, protesting to the referees, and even standing up to urge the Lakers fans sitting in the back.

Her encouragement sparked waves of cheers at the scene.

to the opposite.

Wahlberg and his friends cheered loudly for the Celtics, openly supporting their hometown team.

When he had the upper hand, this guy even stood up triumphantly.

Spreading out hands amidst deafening boos
It was just a pity for him.

Milan's young blacksmith finally erupted in the fourth quarter, ending the game with a game-winning shot.

Jessica was thrilled and led Li Luo straight to the backstage lounge, where he passed through layers of security with facial recognition, helping him end his perfect first NBA experience with a series of group photos.

He declined Kobe's invitation to dinner.

Li Luo hurriedly said goodbye and rushed to the venue for the Twilight party.

Ten p.m.

A grand celebration party for Twilight was held.

As a highly anticipated project, the cocktail party naturally attracted many industry professionals, who, regardless of their connection to the project, tried every means to obtain an invitation.

Expressing congratulations is secondary.

The main focus is on finding opportunities at parties and receptions.

Or perhaps you could recommend your own actors to producers, or get to know influential figures here; at the very least, you could expand your network and become a familiar face in the industry. Breaking through the thick darkness of the night.

Various luxury cars arrived one after another.

Well-dressed guests, all smiles, entered the brightly lit lounge one after another, casually picking up a glass of champagne and heading towards acquaintances.

It consists of journalists, film critics, actors, agents, public relations personnel, models, and others.

To create a glamorous Hollywood extravaganza.

Backstage at the lounge, the actors also changed into elaborate costumes.

On the American side.

They pay great attention to their social attire.

Wear clothes appropriate for the location.

If your attire is inappropriate, you might not be allowed to enter some places at all. Li Luo understands the principle of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" and looks handsome and charming in a well-tailored suit.

"Hey~"

Looking at Christine who was walking briskly towards him, he smiled and looked her up and down, saying, "No flattery, but you look absolutely gorgeous!"

She wore a light blue evening gown.

Her hair was tied up.

She has a long, slender neck and delicate, sexy collarbones.

Her waist was slender and graceful, and the small V-neck revealed a glimpse of her fair and tender breasts, making her outfit quite outstanding.

"Thank you."

Christine happily hugged him, feeling his strong heartbeat beneath his shirt. The Hollywood girl quickly exclaimed, "Hey, don't get the wrong idea!"

"Can I rest tonight?"

Moreover, it was a two-night ordeal, and even a foreign woman like her couldn't withstand it.

"real."

Seeing Li Luo's strange expression, Christine snorted and sniffed, "You don't need to come with me tonight, and you don't need to tell me where we're going. You're a jerk."

Although I don't want to.

Unfortunately, I simply couldn't handle it.

Previously, when I was in the motel, I just felt that time was passing slowly.

And now.

Li seems like a wild beast.

A wild, powerful, and insatiable beast that inspires fascination, Christine doesn't believe she can satisfy the appetite of this Eastern dragon on her own.

Some things become unspoken understandings.

"Please."

Li Luo was both amused and exasperated by the unexpected insult. He then gestured for the other person to look at the closed door not far away: "Are you ready? To welcome the real Hollywood."

"Yes!"

Christine nodded excitedly.

She had been dreaming about this day for countless years.

"No!"

Li Luo instantly extinguished her thoughts.

"Ok?"

Christine expressed her confusion.

"Not ready."

Li Luo smiled and looked at her, nodding earnestly as he said, "You'll never be ready. The shocks that will come from now on will exceed your imagination: money, honor, applause, and cheers."

"These things aren't necessarily good, and they can make it hard for you to understand yourself."

"Before you walk out of this door."

"I suggest you first find an anchor point in your life, remember how you felt before you became famous. This can help you find your way again when you are lost."

He wasn't trying to lecture Christine.

It's just the impact of fame and fortune.

It's terrifying.

That kind of almost fanatical adoration can even lead ordinary people to self-destructive tendencies.

Even the biggest stars are just ordinary people once they lose their glamour. Many Hollywood child stars who became wildly popular have become self-destructive after achieving fame, and their crazy behavior is due to the immense pressure they are under.

Surrounded by the frenzied praise and adulation of various groups, it's hard to recognize reality.

Hollywood girls treat themselves pretty well.

It is necessary to point out a few things.

"Thank you."

Christine seemed to understand, but grabbed Li Luo's hand and squeezed it off with all her might: "Thank you, my anchor point!"

The fingertip dug into the muscle, even drawing a trace of blood.

He smiled and put his finger in his mouth.

Christine winked at him smugly, then strode toward the door.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The others followed her lead.

The doors were flung open by the waiters standing on either side, and countless lights rushed in like snowflakes, followed by thunderous applause from the guests, congratulating the actors on their success.

The camera stopped.

Finally, I can see everything in front of me.

Everywhere you look is a dazzling display of gold and jewels. The elegantly dressed guests are clapping enthusiastically at you, and the cold tables are laden with all sorts of exquisite food.

The champagne tower was piled high.

It shimmered brilliantly under the lights.

In a corner not far away, a band dressed in tuxedos played melodious music, making everything before them even more dreamlike.

Take a deep breath.

Christine and Pattinson walked forward unsteadily.

next moment.

Guests rushed forward.

Before her eyes were radiant smiles and a chorus of compliments. The moment one hand let go, the next person would quickly grasp it, using those few seconds to make Christine remember them as much as possible.

"you're so beautiful."

"Wow, I love your outfit tonight."

"Congratulations on the film's success. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Stewart. I'm Mark, a senior agent at ICM."

"I love the character you play; it has unparalleled charm."

There are quite a few people in front of me.

They were people I couldn't even talk to before.

And now.

To flatter to the extreme.

Christine felt her breathing quicken, and she felt lightheaded, as if she were drunk, excitedly responding to every smiling face that appeared before her.

I felt incredibly happy.

Just this moment.

It was as if the whole world had become brighter.

She gracefully accepted the orange juice, reveling in her moment of being the center of attention amidst endless compliments. At that moment, she didn't care about anything else and wished it could last forever.

Until he turned around.

He saw Li Luo smiling and raising his glass to him from not far away.

In an instant.

Christine's back broke out in a cold sweat.

Yourself.

We were definitely not prepared!
Set your mind.

Christine dealt with the people around her again, but her mindset changed drastically in the blink of an eye. She still enjoyed the current state, but her head didn't feel dizzy.

Amidst laughter and chatter, the main cast and crew of "Twilight" gradually dispersed.

The rest of the guests.

They then quickly approached them.

Especially those small agencies and brokerage firms, they greeted the supporting cast with great enthusiasm, as many people knew very well that the two main characters, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, were highly sought-after.

But it smells so good.

You have to be able to eat it.

Smaller brokerage firms simply cannot offer attractive terms.

There are advantages to playing supporting roles.

Be content.

Easy to please.

If enough people sign up, the accumulated commissions will be substantial.

They can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

That's a solid high salary!
The situation on set was quite bizarre. Representatives from various agencies contacted the supporting cast of Twilight, the vampire family, the female lead's human friends, and even several villains in the film.

Only.

The nominal second male lead.

The Asian man who played Jacob was completely ignored.

What we have gained.

He only nodded and smiled occasionally.

They were polite and courteous, but never actually interacted with him.

Compared to the other actors who received countless hugs, handshakes, and business cards, this was a world of difference.

Many agents exchanged glances.

He smiled and shook his head.

There was even a hint of pity in his eyes.

In their eyes, Jacob was the real lucky one.

lucky.

I came across such a work.

That's it.

Judging from its current box office success, a sequel to "Twilight" is inevitable, especially for a newcomer, an Asian actor who suddenly appeared.

His good luck has come to an end!
Asian.

A new face.

He's still the second male lead.

It's almost like a child walking down the street carrying a gold nugget.

Such roles inevitably attract powerful figures in Hollywood who will vie for them, offering various conditions that producers cannot refuse.

What does it matter how much the movie fans like it?

Compared to profit, everything else is insignificant.

If the next actor plays Jacob well enough, movie fans won't even remember who you are. Plus, with an Asian face, career planning becomes very troublesome.

After considering various factors.

Nobody wanted to come into contact with this guy.

Lucky one!

Enjoy your good fortune; experiencing the glitz and glamour of Hollywood is something to be proud of. After that, you should wisely pack your bags and go home, making way for the big shots.

Looking at Li Luo, who stood calmly, one of the CAA agents chuckled and shook his head, then turned his attention to Nikki Reed.

He stared intently at the sexy American girl.

Swallow the champagne.

Li Luo raised his eyebrows and looked around.

He was well aware of his current situation, and he could easily sense those subtle, disdainful glances.

In my heart.

I didn't feel angry at all.

On the contrary, they admired Hendrik Willem Van Loon even more, knowing that the situation he faced back then must have been even worse.

Conquering a new, top-tier market is no easy feat. It's not as simple as just putting on a good show; often, external factors can be enough to completely overwhelm you.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon was able to successfully emerge.

Strength, luck, and perseverance are all indispensable.

As Li Luo pondered, a small commotion arose at the party.

From the doorway.

It spread rapidly inwards.

"Hey Ali, I lost to you in golf last time, how about giving me another chance to win?"

“Mr. Emmanuel”.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Emmanuel."

With his hair meticulously styled and dressed in a sharp suit, Ali Emmanuel strode into the party, a standard smile on his face, and expertly handled one greeting after another.

Wherever he went, he was showered with compliments and greetings.

Of course, not everyone is like that.

Even if you dislike this guy, you won't show it unless you're offended. You may not like Ali, but you definitely don't want to offend him.

Otherwise, he would be like an angry bull, meeting every challenge with red eyes.

Strong-willed personality.

He has exceptional personal abilities.

He is also the founder and CEO of a large brokerage firm.

Even executives from traditional film studios like Warner Bros., Disney, Universal, and Paramount treat Ari Emmanuel with the respect he deserves.

Under the watchful eyes of the vast majority of people.

Emmanuel strode over to Godfrey, Mel, and Catherine, offering his warm congratulations.

Followed by.

He then shook hands with the male and female leads to congratulate them.

The guests at the party were amazed by this scene. They never expected that these two overnight sensations could attract the interest of Ari Emmanuel. Their luck was simply enviable.

The next moment.

The guests watched in bewilderment as Emmanuel strode quickly to a corner, then stared blankly as the powerful figure opened his arms.

"plum!"

With a loud shout.

A Hollywood bigwig laughed heartily and gave a warm hug to a relatively unknown Hollywood figure.
